How old was your infant when he/she started sleeping through the night regularly?

Similar questions: infant started sleeping night regularly.

Around 8 months Our daughter did not sleep through a full night until she was 6 months old, and did not start doing it more or less consistently until she was 8 months. After that, she would still have sporadic bad nights that have diminished in frequency up to the present. She is now 2½, and she will still have an occasional night awakening that is severe enough that we have to do something about it.

Most of the time, she'll whimper a little and go back to sleep, but when she starts to scream and toss things out of her crib, we know something is wrong. It's usually because she is not feeling well. It's normal for infants to have night awakenings through their first few months or life.

We were hoping our daughter would be among those who start to sleep through the night inside of 3 months, but it wasn't so. Our pediatrician told us this was not unusual, and that there wasn't anything wrong with her, or anything wrong with what we were doing. She did suggest that we cut out the night feedings after a while, but mostly it was a waiting game.

Here is a link to a good article about sleep issues in babies: drgreene.org/body.cfm?id=21&action=detai... Dr. Greene's website was recommended to us by our pediatrician, so we tend to put more trust in the articles we find there than those we get from other sources. One thing I'll add - we never joined the "cry it out" club. We would stay with our daughter until she fell asleep, and we've never regretted it.

WIDE variation #1 was two weeks old -- I thought it was because I was the perfect mother. #2 was THREE YEARS old -- I repented.

Ugh. My first didn't sleep through the night until 13-14 months. The second was at 7 months.

I read the books.....I did the Ferber Method (complete torture). If I had a third I would leave the books alone and use my common sense. I think that all of them are different.

ALL children will learn to sleep through the night on their own---eventually. Sure, you can stack the odds in your favor.....warm bath, stories under low light, make sure they are not hungry, that they aren't too warm/cool.....but after that it is all up to the little fella or miss. Hope this helps!.

2 days- 1st child, 2 months - second child, 2 years - third child. So it varies All children are different. My first born slept through the night the day I brought him home from the hospital.

I had no idea what that 2 o'clock feeding was all about. Well that is until my second child came along. It seemed he wanted to be up all night and slept little during the day.

He's 30 now and STILL a night owl. He wasn't necessarliy hungry, just wanted to visit - you know, hang out, kick it. Etc.

Still does. LOL The third one - well he was not an accident but he came along 13 years later when I was 40. He was not fussy, or hungry, but I was also not as concerned about "when" kids would do certian things.So if he wanted a snack at midnight - I knew he'd still grow up and go to college.

(He's 18 now and yep those college apps are in the mail ) Point is - all kids are different. But Generally one should expect the child to outgrow that two o'clock meal at around 6 weeks. GENERALLY!

If your child is just being fussy, but not hungry or needing a change, then maybe you need to think about letting him fuss just a little bit longer before you go to her. Sometimes a baby will just fall back asleep. Not too long, but a little.

Sometimes it's not the food the baby wants or even needs, but just a little company. Enjoy it - it goes so fast. But then again - now I have grand children!

My daughter did it right when she was born my son was the same also. I co-clept with both of them and I think it helped a lot in establishing a difference between night and day. My son however went through a stage when he was about 18months where he wanted to be up ALL THE TIME.

He'd basically wake up every two hours during the night but it went away pretty fast. About 1 month he did that. My daughter is now 5 month old and she falls asleep at 10pm and wakes up at 8am.

I wake up once at night to feed(i nurse).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
